Women may now attend church
services in England without wear-
ing hats. The archbishops of Can-
terbury and of York have joined
forces on this question and de-
creed that the old rule, made by
St. Paul, need not apply in this
day and age. A strict interpreta-
tion of the rule, they say, would
require veils as well as hats in
church. “No woman or girl
should hesitate to enter a church
uncovered, nor should any objec:
tion to their doing so be raised,”
say the archbishops, apparently
settling the question so far as the
Church of England is concerned.
The Rev. and Mrs. Kesselring,
Methodist missionaries who were
recently repatriated from Malaya
and reassigned to service in San
Jose, Costa Rica, found on their
arrival there plenty of evidence
that the world is topsy-turvey.
Leaving coffee-rationed, banana-
less U.S.A., they found in San
Jose, “coffee at 15 cents per
pound, bananas at one-half cent
each, and no sugar rationing. But
we can get no bread or wheat
flour. The bakeries have closed
their doors awaiting a shipment
of flour. Fortunately there are
enough potatoes, rice, meat, and
vegetables; and there are pine-
apples, papayas, oranges, and
avocado pears. Tobacco is flown
in by plane.” The Kesselrings will
engage in evangelistic and educa-
tional work in San Jose and sur-
rounding communities.
“Alexandria Village,” named
after and provided for by church
women in Alexandria, Virginia,
has just had its first unit of
buildings completed and occupied
on the outskirts of Kapanga, a
tribal center deep in the heart of
the Belgian Congo, Africa. The
unit consists of twelve two-room
houses, made of sun-dried brick,
and will accommodate some thirty
lepers under the care of Dr. Ar-
thur L. Piper, medical missionary
of the Methodist Church. Next
dry season Dr. Piper expects to
erect some thirty-six similar
houses in Alexandria Village.
“Christendom started in the vil-
lage of Nazareth, Protestantism
in the little town of Wittenburg,
Methodism in the vicarage of ob-
scure Epworth; American Meth-
odism came to life in a country
church in Maryland or in a little
village at the mouth of the Hud-
son River,” says Dr. A. J. Walton,
rural church authority. “Where
will the new awakening come to
birth? Will it be in some open
country chapel, some village
church, ‘neath town spire or in a
city cathedral amid the thunders
of world commerce? Or will God
be forced to the by-ways and
hedges to discover the surrender-
ed souls who, yielding all to him,
shall become the channels thru
whom he may pour his power in-
to a war-scarred world.”
World War II affects the Chris-
tian church even more than did
World War I, “since it is a strug-
gle over spiritual issues more
than it is over material values,”
the Geneva (Switzerland) office
of the World Council of Churches
says in summarizing its recent
study of sermons preached in
European countries since the out-
break of the struggle. Three
phases of preaching may be dis-
tinguished in the changing
themes of sermons, the Council
finds: “from the outbreak of the
war to December, 1939, there is
evident an effort to discuss the
questions raised by the war, to
prepare the congregations for the
special dangers ahead of them,
and to treat seriously the prob-
lems which the war raises for the
church; from December, 1939, to
the spring of 1940 there was less
talk of the war and more ‘time-
less’ preaching with particular
reference to the power of the
faith and the consolation of the
gospel; since the summer of 1940,
especially in the most threatened
churches, reveals the efforts of
the church to maintain itself a-
gainst the threats to its exis-
tence.”
A radio broadcast from Tokyo,
Japan, heard in Washington,
D. C., and relaesed by the Fed-
eral Communications Commiss-
ion, gives the information that
the Japan-wide unification of
all Protestant churches, forced
by edicts of the government, has
now been consummated—a unifi-
cation “for the first time in the
history of modern Christianity,”
the radio said. “The Church of
Christ in Japan” is the name of
the new body which consists of
churches of 34 former denomi-
nations. The Y. M. C. A., the Y.
W. C. A., and the women’s Christ
iar W. C. A., and the women’s
Christian Temperance Union be-
come organizations within the
new Church. According to Miss-
ionary Charles W. Inglehart, coun-
seller on Japanese matters to the
International Missionary Council,
“This message yields a reassur-
ing impression of a small Christ-
ian minority movement under
terrific pressures within and
without, but still maintaining its
constituted right to live and
speak, and exercising this right
with courage and conviction.’

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“You can’t imagine, Judge, how much com-
fort Louise and I got out of reading that'
-'report by the Office of War Information on
drinking habits in and around Army camps.
If you hadn’t loaned us your copy we’d still
be worrying about our Jim... all because
of those silly rumors goin’ around.”
t “I’m mighty glad to hear that, John.
As the report says, no Army in American
history has been so orderly, so well-behaved, ’
so well-trained. Why, even on pay-night,
there's very little drinking done. 1 was
particularly interested in that part which
said the Army, with an eye to its own
problem, usually prefers to have its camps
in wet communities rather than dry com-
munities because wet communities can be
regulated . . . dry communities with their
^bootleggers can’t. It’s just more proof that
%prohibition does not prohibit.”

A short-term credit program is
available to Gillespie county
farmers producing Food For Free-
dom this year, Dorman D. Sell,
secretary of the Gillespie County
Agricultural Conservation Asso-
ciation, has announced.
The new loan program, which
will operate through the County
USDA War Board and the Re-
gional Agricultural Credit Corp-
oration, is to help farmers meet
or surpass high production goals
and at the same time insure them
against loss to farmers on this
year’s war production. Applica-
tions will be accepted at the
County AAA office starting Mon-
day, February 22nd.
The new program is not a sub-
stitute for other sources of
credit which farmers already are
using, and it was not intended to
compete against other sources,
but the purpose of the special
war crop advances is to provide
additional credit for this year’s
production.
Producers who cooperate un-
der this short-term credit pro-
gram will sign a special form
of note that limits the obliga-
tions to repay to the value of
the crops produced, provided
certain requirements are met.
In Gillespie county the only crop
that will qualify for this special
type of loan is peanuts, harvest-
ed and picked.
In addition to the short-term
advances for producers of war
crops, the County USDA War
Board and RACC also will make
larger type loans to help farm-
ers finance other production
activities. In making the larger
type loans the War Board and
RACC will require full respon-
sibility and a first lien on the
crops, livestock or equipment fi-
nanced, and farmers will be re-
sponsible for the full amount of
the loan in any event.
The loans are to be repaid
when crops or livestock financed
are sold, and ordinarily will not
exceed one year. Unpaid bal-
ances for livestock, machinery
and other equipment may be re-
newed or extended but at least
one-third of the amount ad-
vanced for necessary war pro-
duction capital purposes should
be repaid the first year.

lers, 20 pair of gloves, 25 pair of

Catholic Information
What We Think of the Bible
The Bible is the history of Our
Lord and -Saviour, Jesus Christ,
foretold and fulfilled. The sacred
story is recorded in seventy-two
separate books which make up
the Bible. These books were
written over a period of sixteen
hundred years beginning with
Moses and closing with St. John.
These books are the work of
some fifty different authors;
they vary in style, in purpose,
and in' content. Yet they compose
one book because in it many
books become one; all having
one primary author, the Holy
Spirit; all having one common
theme, Jesus Christ, the Saviour
of Mankind. Through them all
runs one golden thread which
ties them all together; the hope
of Patriarch and Prophet, the
hope fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
The Bible may be called the
Biography of our Lord and Savi-
our, Jesus Christ; Christ in vi-
sion and in prophecy in the Old
Testament, Christ in flesh and
blood in the New Testament.
What is the difference between
the Protestant and Catholic Bib-
les? Generally speaking, they are
the same. The reason why? The
Protestant Bible was taken from
the Catholic Bible. When Pro-
testantism arose, the Bible was
in the possession of the Catholic
Church and had been for 1500
years. There was no Bible ex-
cept the Catholic Bible. There
was nowhere else to get it.
Two differences may be noted
between them. There is a differ-
ence of translation in a great
number of passages. Again, the
Protestant Bible omits some of
the books of the Catholic Bible,
the so-called deutro-canonical, of
the Old Testament: Tobias, Ju-
dith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus,
Baruch, Maccebees 1 and 2.
The observance of Biblical Sun-
day, Feb. 21, emphasizes the
motto or slogan for the days:
“A New Testament in every
home; the teaching of Christ in
every heart.”
